解析：

(1)	由前面struggle for可知。前面写第三世界国家的孩子遭受物质贫穷，而发达国家的孩子遭受的是精神贫乏。
(2)	根据上文写发达国家的孩子精神状况较差，后面是一个具体的事实，所以应该用for instance(例如)。
(3)	分数表示法one child in five(五分之一)相当于one child out of five。
(4)	后文用三个自然段具体描述发达国家和发展中国家的孩子的生活条件的不同，尤其是文章最后一句话总结了全文，所以暗示此空应该选childhood。
(5)	由后文中第三世界国家的孩子与父母、亲戚和邻居的关系近，可知此处应选A最全面。
(6)	与发达国家的孩子形成“对比”关系。
(7)	与上文发达国家的孩子离家人远，形成对比，从而得出发展中国家的孩子离家人近。
(8)	用分词作定语，grow up成长；live through度过，经受住；而work和play与上下文明显不符。
(9)	此处想表明“通过参与一些公共事物(如……)孩子可以获得角色认证。”下文列举的为可参与的工作并且上段中提及“shares in that work”得知D项最佳。
(10)	由上一行的through可知。Through doing sth．rather than through doing sth．
(11)	文中playing keeping和Playing三个动名词是选择关系，作through的宾语。
(12)	these指上文中的发展中国家的孩子，后文仍应该与“西方”发达国家的孩子相比较。
(13)	本题最大的干扰项为B。由于B项含有两层意义：(1)同时；一起。(2)然而；不过。容易造成误解。而on the other hand只含转折的意义，同时包含上下文的对比，故选C。
(14)	与上文发展中国家的时间观念是通过观察的相对应，所以下面写西方国家的孩子长大的“最早”标志就是(父母给他们)提供了手表，这样一来，孩子和大人们就可以一块关注下面的一系列事件的时间。
(15)	此句中school times/me times/bed times/the times of TV shows…均为并列关系，作前面介词for的宾语。由于是being late for…所以只能是担心，而care about是“关心，在乎，介意”之意。
(16)	not have to相当于needn’t，再根据still less可知，不是“不敢”，“不希望”，或“不要求”，而应是“不必要”。
(17)	由文中可知，中间三段主要讲述发展中国家孩子的优点，而选项中只有freedom是褒义的。
(18)	由于全文都是写发展中国家和发达国家孩子的生存状况，所以，发展中国家的孩子的父母可以在外面看着孩子而不像发达国家的父母在十几层的高楼上焦急地看着孩子在楼下玩。
(19)	前面都写的是发展中国家孩子的好处，而下面写的是每年都有一千二百万5岁以下的发展中国家的孩子死于饥饿和疾病，所以上下文之间应该是一种转折关系。 　　above all首先；in the end最后；What’s more更糟的是。
(20)	这是一句总结全文的句子，虽然发展中国家的孩子有那么多的不利情况，但是也有某些优势，所以说第三世界的孩子生活“并不都”是坏的。 　　本文着重阐述了发达国家和发展中国家孩子生存状况的优劣，从而指出发展中国家的孩子的生存状况相对于发达国家来说并不是一无是处。
